Best of Northumberland, the worst of its weather!

RATING: 5 of 5
DATE: OCTOBER 2021

COURSE: Nikon School Adventures - The Best of Northumberland

Rain did not stop play like in cricket. Neil and Ricci adapted the programme, and the time was well spent covering a range of topics that were raised by the participants. An hour break in the conditions allowed some photography of the castle, with tips galore from the tutors, followed by a masterclass in editing some of the images obtained. Learnt so much about many aspects of photography.

Introduction to Lightroom

RATING: 5 of 5
DATE: OCTOBER 2021

COURSE: Digital Darkroom: Introduction to Lightroom Classic

Having continued to use Adobe Bridge and Photoshop CS6, I wanted to upgrade to the latest Photoshop and Lightroom. Being so busy rather than try to pick it up on my own, a 3 hour introduction to Lightroom where I could ask questions and find out what I need to was ideal. Neil was great at explaining the benefits and showing the power of Lightroom to the extent that Photoshop is only really needed for advanced editing. I felt confident to install and use Lightroom following the training.

Speedlight Masterclass

RATING: 5 of 5
DATE: OCTOBER 2021

COURSE: How to: Speedlights

Having used on camera speedlights, I wanted to explore the more advanced options of what speedlights can do, high speed sync, and remote flash using a master or commander. Ricci was very knowledgable, explaining everything in an easy to understand way, and fully able to answer all questions. I have a much better understanding of the use of speedlights as a result and cannot wait to experiment to get more out of my photography.

DSLR Focusing Masterclass

RATING: 5 of 5
DATE: OCTOBER 2021

COURSE: Mastering: DSLR Focusing

Having used AF-S for years no matter what I was photographing, I wanted to really get to grips with all the different focusing options available on the newest DSLR's, particularly photographing moving objects. Ricci was excellent at explaining all the different focusing options available, how to fully utilise each and the best uses for each, and was extremely knowledgable with an in-depth understanding of how each focusing option worked. He explained in an easy to understand succinct way.

RATING: 5 of 5

COURSE: Mastering Z 6II & Z 7II Pt. 1

The Z6II course run by Ricci covers everything you might ever want to know about the camera and the intricacies of its features and menu. Ricci is very knowledgeable and was able to answer all the questions raised by the attendees in a clear, understandable and concise way. Very worthwhile doing.

Mastering the Z6 11 & z7 11 Part 1 & 2

RATING: 5 of 5
DATE: OCTOBER 2021

COURSE: Mastering Z 6II & Z 7II Pt. 1

I am returning to photography following a stroke which left me unable to lift my original camera, (a D800) after sometime with a compact camera I now have a z7 11 which is half the weight of my previous camera. It’s good to be back! The course introduced me to this more advanced camera and has given me confidence in what I am already doing, it showed me that I am on the right track.

RATING: 5 of 5
DATE: OCTOBER 2021

COURSE: Experience Day: Landscapes - Yorkshire Dales

A terrific day in the Yorkshire Dales thanks to Neil's intimate knowledge of the area. Waterfalls, Lone trees, Lime Kilns and a Barn in the hills it was a really great day out capped off by a sunset shoot when Neil stayed beyond the allotted time to ensure everyone got the best from their images.

Nikon D500

RATING: 5 of 5
DATE: OCTOBER 2021

COURSE: Mastering the D500

I swapped my ageing D7000 for the D500 and was a bit overwhelmed by the additional features. This training gave me all the information that I wanted and I would recommend this to novices and experienced photographers.
